Developing a competitive scholarship application: General strategies and tips (all disciplines)(GradProSkills workshop)

This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is open to graduate students and final-year undergraduate students planning for grad school. 

Advance registration is required. 

This workshop is intended for current or future students in research-based graduate programs, who are preparing a Fall scholarship application to a federal or provincial government research agency.

Writing strategies and tips can often be applied globally, so this workshop aims to offer ways that graduate students can develop and improve their scholarship applications. For example, this workshop will offer writing tips to aid in the development of many standard and essential sections of the application (e.g. outline of proposed research, and other applicant statements). Funding agencies typically expect students to be the author of their own applications, but this does not mean writing in isolation – and does not exclude the important contributions and feedback of peers, research supervisors and other mentors.

Spots are limited. Register by Saturday, June 07.
